Description

Azienda Agricola Cos Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico delle Fontane DOCG 2018

Grape Varietals & Region: Blend of Frappato di Vittoria 40%, Nero d’Avola 60% from Fontane in Vittoria, Sicily, Italy

Taste Profile: Lively ruby in color. The bouquet is pleasantly fruity and spicy, pulpy and persuasive but not tiring, multifaceted and complex. On the palate it is fresh, thin, with tannins which are prominent but perfectly integrated into the structure and alcohol

Winemaking Process: Spontaneous fermentation on skins with indigenous yeasts, aged in Slavonian barrels & bottle

Bright & Easy Reds

Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early

These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction
